The Fifth Year of Marriage to Him novel Chapter 309

Cedrick stared at the screen, his mind groggy, filled with nothing but a roaring sound.

Maricela grabbed Cedrick’s clothes, anxiously trying to explain, “Cedrick, I didn’t mean to… I drank too much that day… I was emotional, I just really, really wanted to be with I’m you… sorry,

Cedrick…”

But Cedrick seemed not to hear her at all.

“Cedrick… Cedrick… You’re not mad at me, are you?

I really just drank too much…” Maricela cried, tears streaming down her face.

But Cedrick stood up.

“Cedrick-”

Behind him, Harlan and Maricela were both calling his name.

He didn’t stop, walking straight toward the front.

All along the way, people were pointing and whispering at him. To him, those voices were like a curse, trying to drag him down to hell…

No one knew why he had come forward. He just kept his head down, silent for a long while before he finally spoke. “I’m sorry. Because of my mistake, my wife, Lucille, has suffered a great deal, and I’ve also caused an unpleasant incident at Mr. Cruz’s banquet. I’m truly sorry.”

After speaking, he was too ashamed to remain there any longer and quickly left the venue.

“Cedrick!

Cedrick!”

Maricela and Harlan chased after him.

But Cedrick was already gone.

Inside the banquet hall, the projection screen was turned off. Edwin came out to offer an apology, but no one paid much mind to the interruption. After all, the main star of the evening was Mr. Cruz, and everyone had come for him.

Lucille looked toward the main entrance of the hall and said to Robert beside her, “Brother, some people just love taking money that isn’t theirs. They should be made to give it back, right?”

Robert nodded. “Agreed.”

The dinner continued. Outside the banquet hall, Harlan and Maricela looked back at the brightly lit interior, but they could no longer go inside.
